I was looking at the leather pillow headrest lcds on ebay. What would i need to do to run multiple monitors? I have currently have a microvision 7" screen and a under the seat dvd player. The dvd player is powerd by my cigarette lighter and a switch in my center console. Would I be able to use a distribution block from my cigarette to power the 2 extra monitors and the dvd player. I know i will need a video splitter and maybe a cap of some sort. I have a 4 gauge amp wire running to my infinity basslink that i dont wanna tap into unless i have too.

thanks

 

I had the same setup in my Altima and am now installing a similar system in my max. In terms of power, the current is typically low so a wire gauge higher the 16awg is over kill and the cap is not necessary. Are you indicating that you are taping into a 12V source behind the cig. lighter or you are plugging directly into it? If the later, then to prevent clutter, find a good battery source behind the plug (either radio, fuse box, or behind the cig. lighter) to tap into. I am running 16awg to three independent 15a fuses for each display, a video switcher (to allow my kids the opportunity to either play playstation, watch a DVD or both, and a video amp. Sounds like your on the right track....these are just my thoughts.....!
